Mixing RAM BSOD

Hi, I have atm 2 x 4GB sticks of RAM Corsair LPX Vengeance 2400mhz on my PC.

 

I just bought 2 x 8GB sticks of Corsair LPX Vengeance 3200mhz from a friend.

 

When I tried to mixed them I had a BSOD. Now I run the new one without any problem but I can have them run at the same time.

 

Do you think that there is a solution for that problem ?

 

I don't know if it's worth trying to mix them because the new one have better frequency.

 

Thank you for your help.

mix and matching kits could and could not work, and could be iffy in  a lot of aspects, if you don't need the extra capacity, just use the new kit.
